I'm looking forward to seeing how things go for you!



I've hit a bit of a dry spell myself, so I'm going to be going back to the my core, fundamental practices in order to break it. Maybe this list will be useful to you as well. Anyhow, here are the fundamentals that I return to when I need to reignite my LD practice. This is exactly what I will do until my dry spell breaks:

Ask yourself this throughout the day, particularly every time your awareness slips: “How do I know this isn’t a dream?” Demand specific proof from yourself that you're not dreaming. Where were you 5 minutes ago? Does any of what you're experiencing make sense?

Perform WBTB. 30 minutes or longer may work best. Spend this time thinking or reading about lucid dreaming and questioning reality.

Have a plan for your next lucid dream. Get excited about this plan. Visualize yourself following through and KNOW that you will succeed.

You can and will realize when you're dreaming. The next lucid dream is coming. It's just a matter of time. Now go get it!

I did it! Even if it was for just one second, I finally made it again. I met with a friend, she said "it's been 60 years since the last time we saw each other", and I managed to realize that obviously, tha was false. A second later I started to feel my body and all faded out. I tried to DEILD without success.

Beautiful!! I knew you'd get it! You had exactly the right idea trying to use DEILD in order to turn that short lucid dream into a longer one. Just keep after it. Now that you've proven to yourself yet again that you can do this, it's all just about putting in the attempts and time.

I see more lucidity in your future! Keep after it!
